50 most popular online-marketing influencers in 2014 – from entrepreneur.com

Nowadays everybody is an online-guru which makes it a bit harder to find informational sources to trust online. www.entrepreneur.com came up with a handy list of 50 Favorite Online-Marketing Influencers of 2014.

When it comes to determining the “top 50” of anything, there are any number of variables that can come into play. Some of the ones I considered for this list included:

Usefulness and reliability of blog and social-media posts

Advanced knowledge in one or more areas of online marketing

Size of audience

Level of engagement on their blog or social media

Ability to create and sustain a sense of community with their audience

2. Matt Cutts doesn’t normally make it onto these lists, but there’s no doubt he’s near the top in terms of online influence. He’s the star of Google’s Webmaster videos and current head of Google’s Webspam team.
